Hi Gutierrez Family...(and List), Hey...I got the same error messsage too while attempting to compile the "patched" 2.2.17 kernel....I downloaded the patches for 2.2.16 and 2.2.17 and applied those to my 2.2.15 source tree in /usr/src/linux (-> /usr/src/2.2.15). I did get some error message while applying the patch something about reverse patch...however, I continued pressing enter until the end and did a make xconfig, make dep, make modules, make bzImage....and at the last step I got that error message.....I have not make modules_install yet.....any ideas anyone.
Also, I trashed my / when I enabled dma via hdparm..and I have no idea how to recover....I ran fsck and e2fsck over the / partition and numerous error messages flashed by and the last error message said something about some inode gone haywire try using inode 8139 or something...which I did and when I booted into the woody box....my root (which housed /lib; /bin; /sbin; /tmp; etc) had numerous files/libraries missing....Can this be 'rescued'? If not, I'd have to wait for the Debian 2.2 cdroms to arrive from the States via Linux System Labs...
